Installed Macromedia 6 and 7 for PPC and tried both of them. None of them work.
I tried opening the SWF's in PIE but it just gives me an error saying PIE isn't associated with .swf
Anyone know how to make these .swf's run?
***EDIT***
I should probably clarify a little more. I have the Actual .SWF file on my storage card. I am not going to any website and load remotely.
Specifically trying to load local from storage card.
***EDIT 2***
Solved my own problem. Look here:

Well, that page is good for information and all, but for those who want instant gratification.
***EDIT 4***
Uploading a fun Flash game that actually WORKS!!! Use your stylus to keep the guy walking.
For better performance Overclocking is kinda neccessary to have a decent FPS and Click and Hold the stylus to change setting like:
View > %100
Quality > Low
Full Screen > On
Don't forget you can hold the stylus down anywhere within the flash to have the WM5 swirly dooley to bring up more options.
Things I need this to do:
- Keep the backlight on while this program runs.
- Always have "Low" Quality selected
- Landscape mode being selectable or always "ON"
Would anyone know how to do that?
Thanks for that, all working - I had the smartphone version of this but not the pocket pc version cheers.
For all those british nostalgics - old bbc2 clock flash attached :wink:
I'm just glad somebody found this useful. Heh, I guess I was one of the only ones looking around crazy to play Flash files locally.
Thanks for the SWF as well.
does the flash player work with the pda screens? does it accept inputs....or just for watching swf's?
edit.. ok i read your edits.. the stylus works find....
Hey !
A while ago I owned a Toshiba G900 which also had a WVGA Screen.
Many programms had problems with this screen especially emulators.
So I searched and found -WVGA FIX- a programm written from Cotulla for the G900 which emulates a VGAscreen. So I was able to use mostly every program.
A week ago I received my X1 and tried WVGA Fix ! It didnt work...
After some searching i found a improved Version -WVGA FIX 2- now supporting all WM 5, 6, 6.1 and WVGA devices.
This little Program virtually "cuts" the pixels bigger than VGA from your device.
Dont get scared.. This only happens as long as you run the program.
Those pixels get black and the program emulates a VGA screen.
When you choose to get back to WVGA everything is fine again
So most programms (not only emulators) will work fine on our nice WVGA screen.
I thought some people here will love this tool too.
PS:Install the cert first, then WVGA FIX2 second.
Cheers !
All credits for this tool -> Cotulla

How handy! Now snes emulator should work fine then, I guess.
Thanks
why install certs? got it working without
that helps quite a bit with the emulators. however my main issue is the performance. with sound all the games run really slow. which emulator do you guys use and how do they run performance wise?
another question regarding wvga-fix.:
when i activate it the clicks arent registerd in the right location anymore. its quite hard to start programs then and navigate. that could be an issue with scumm and games that require on screen navigation
this program will be uber great if only it has somekind of profiles to automatically switch between wvga and vga mode whenever specific programs executed.

1. I play play most games without sound. Works really nice. With sounds some emulators can lag. Try to find "your" best settings ;-)
2. The clicks (when using programs ! ) are in the right places. Scumm and everything else will work fine. This happens only in WVGA-FIX-2.

Haha, that would be nice but at the current state it still helps a LOT ;-)
Maybe someone will develop something like that ?
I don't think this works for me
When I run VGA games they just shrink to the default VGA size and I'm left with about a quarter of my screen black at the bottom
The games run perfect but they do not fill the screen.
Is this app supposed to reduce the resolution of the X1 to VGA and therefore make VGA games etc run full screen?
What are the 2 cabs for???

would this help applications that are slighty out of screen i.e. google navigator 4, tomtom 7 on navigations mode.
PS:Install the cert first, then WVGA FIX2 second
hej. what is it this "Cert"? how to install it?
There are two cab files, install the one with Cert in it's name first.

I have installed the cerst file first, and then other file, butt when I start the program I got the same problem as when i tried to play games in scummWM. The screen gets smaller, but when you point it points at the wrong place, it points 1 or 2 centimetres to the left from the place I'm pointing at.
What are I'm doping wrong?
I' would be great full for all help, any help. I would really love to play BS1 and 2 on my X1.

Hey.
To play SCUMM 0.12 Games, just run WVGAFIX and use the VGA Setting.
The screen shrink to VGA.
Start SCUMM and go to OPTIONS
Under GRAPHICS use
Graphics mode : HQ2x
Render mode: default
Fullscreen mode -> YES
Aspect ratio correction -> YES
->>>> Have fun playing SCUMM Games ;-)
BTW: Whats BS1 +2 ?

Well, I think I have a solution for this one. WVGAFIX2 has two command line parameters: "-800" for switching to VGA and "-600" to switch back to WVGA. Now you only need to make a batch file which first launches the VModeSwitch.exe -800, then it launches the game and finally, when the game is exited, it launches VModeSwitch.exe -600.
Instructions (for MortScript):
If your phone doesn't support .bat files (mine doesn't), you need to download MortScript. That's a nice script utility for Pocket PCs
I have a game called "Orions: Legend of Wizards", which needs to be played in VGA-mode. So first I create a new blank text file and type in something like this:
Code:
runwait( "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\VModeSwitch.exe", "-800" )
runwait( "\Storage Card\Program Files\Orions\ppc.exe" )
run( "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\VModeSwitch.exe", "-600" )
I used two methods:
Run( application [, parameter ] )
and
RunWait( application [, parameter ] )
RunWait means it waits for the program to end until it moves on to the next line.
The code basically changes the screen to VGA-mode, then launches the game (ppc.exe) and finally switches back to WVGA when the game is ended.
Finally just save the text file as .mscr, for example I would save it as Orions.mscr
When I want to play Orions I just click Orions.mscr and it handles all the WVGAFIX2 stuff automatically. Easy.

woah great post, I will try that sometime later
Oh yeah, I found more usefull stuff about MortScript as I was reading the manual. With X1 the changes are that WVGAFIX2 flips the screen upside down making the pen miss the targets. You should be able to fix it simply by toggling the keyboard in and out, but you can do it in the script too.
Rotate( 0 ) changes the screen to the portrait position and
Rotate( 270 ) changes the screen to landscape position.
As you can propably guess, the number is between 0-360. So go ahead and mix that somewhere between the code if you want.
My code for Orions currently looks like this:
Code:
runwait( "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\VModeSwitch.exe", "-800" )
Rotate( 270 )
runwait( "\Storage Card\Program Files\Orions\ppc.exe" )
runwait( "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\VModeSwitch.exe", "-600" )
slide = RegRead( "HKLM", "System\GDI\Rotation", "SlideKey" )
If ( slide = 0 )
Rotate( 0 )
Else
Rotate( 270 )
EndIf
You propably shouldn't copy paste my code if you don't understand what's going on. But basicly:
After it has changed to VGA (and the screen is upside down), it Rotates 270 to landscape mode. Then it launches the game and after that it changes back to WVGA. Now here is where I went crazy. It actually checks from the registry if the keyboard is in or out and then rotates the screen accordingly to either portrait mode or landscape mode.

Who remembers those old handheld games with monochrome lcds?
Here's a Windows Mobile version of a Russian version of the game.
The game is simple, all you have to do is catch the eggs as they fall.
The bunny that shows up on the screen is on your side, you will only lose half a point if you drop an egg, otherwise you lose a life.
You have 3 lives to keep you going, and if you make it to 200 or 500 points you lost lives will be given back to you.
See how many you can catch and don't forget that the eggs start falling faster as you keep playing.
THIS GAME REQUIRES OPENGL
UPDATE v1.1
Added WVGA and WQVGA Support
Update v1.2
Minor fixes, reported to work much better
Supported Resolutions: VGA (Tested), QVGA (Should Work), WVGA and WQVGA (Awaiting confirmation)
For those of you that have problems running the game, install the attached libGSES_CM.cab file.
nice & funny. quite nostaligic.
I like it

you find it hard to play? Is it screen sensitivity? I was playing it one handed yesterday and even then I was doing pretty well
It wont play on my Fuze..starts then just freezes my phone and have to take the battery out...any thoughts?

found out my problem no OpenGL
did it work once you installed the opengl file? it should
No it still froze and made my TF3D crash and just appeared as a white screen and no soft resets or anything fixed it so i had to do a hard reset to reinstall the rom lol....oh well....and then to make matters worse I left my phone at work in the bathroom and can't get it until 10am...4 hours to go
doesn't sound like Eggs would have done that... it's just a small app and does absolutely no system changes of any kind...

Yea I know it was weird, the TF3D was still there and I could switch the different screens but it was white and I would see a few words or a number.. It all happened when I put the OpenGL into my Windows Directory
tried it on my Xda Flame and it doesnt work..
gives errors like: Eggs.frmGame.InitGL()
like most other opengl apps for Diamond
WVGA and VGA error
I tried running it on my Sharp S01SH. I get:
MissingMethodException
Can't find PInvoke DLL 'libgles_cm.dll'.
at OpenGLES.egl.GetDisplay (EGLNativeDisplayType display_id)
at Eggs.frmGame.InitGL()
at Eggs.frmGame..ctor()
at Eggs.Program.Main()
Tested it on my other device, W-ZERO3 (VGA) and get the same error.
Too bad. I remember playing this game when I was 13 or 14.
I've attached opengl cab file, try to run that and let me know if it works. thanks
WVGA error
Hi, I installed OpenGL. I actually first placed the DLL file available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525315 directly in the Windows directory. The game returned the same error as above.
Then I installed your CAB. The game now starts but loads in portrait mode with the controls badly positioned. When I try switching to landscape, the screen becomes a real mess. Will try on the VGA device and post report in a while.
VGA error
Tried it on the VGA device as well.
Game seems to load normally - at least buttons are where supposed. However, when I press Start the buttons disappear and nothing happens. After I minimize the program and then return to it, I get some error with a loooong description. Here's the beginning of it:
InvalidOperationException
at System.Media.Waveparser.CheckNativeError (Int32 error)
at System.Media.WaveParser.Play (Boolean synchronously, Boolean looping)
at System.Media.SoundPlayer.doPlay (Boolean synchronously, Boolean looping)
at Eggs.Egg..ctor()
................
Hope this helps your development!
Oh, forgot to add, I get the same error on the WVGA device after a couple attempts to switch the screen from landscape to portrait and back.
Juts tried it on a stock Touch Pro 2 with .Net 3.5 loaded and it works without a problem. It's not full screen but otherwise it's fine
I cannot start the game, but start button is pushable and nothing happens
.NET CF
On my Diamond i've got a problem with .NET CF
I just installed .NET CF 3.5 without success- which version do I need?
.net 3.5 should work, what errors are you getting?
hi,
This is a beta of my second game Spaceman. I am having limited time to develop this game as my work is very busy. Instead of not releasing it i though i would as it is still playable at beta version (tested on HTC tp2 and SE x1).
This is a Shooting game, think space invaders.
It is WVGA ONLY
In the .rar u will find the spaceman .cab + spaceman .exe (for people who dont want to install a cab) + Ganondolfs Adventure .cab (my first game, also WVGA ONLY) and a .txt file.
I am currently unable to get a screen shot of the game but if anyone who downloads it would upload a pic i would appreciate it.
Link:

Thanks
Here you go Gandolf. Not a bad start at all! I didn't get very far on spaceman, but I only tried it for a few minutes. Would it maybe be possible to have it so holding one of the directional buttons keeps you moving in that direction, instead of having to taptaptap a whole bunch? That would make it a little easier for me at least
Thanks for the contribution, I always love user-created content like this!
First 2 pics are spaceman, 2nd pair is Adventure, natch
Great work on both I must say, keep it up! As a graphic designer I must object to the wanton use of a swirlywirly font in the menus. Easier reading
Hello thread i just installed morphgear into my HTC LEO and WOW!!! what a difference! i have had previosly the htc hd 1 and its a big change, so quick, even the sound is bearable i forget after a while that its not perfect. love it.
One problem though! In the GBA rom Zelda: Minish cap, the game always freezes in the beginning when i enter Minish Woods, no idea why same thing on my htc hd 1 any ideas what could be causing this?? thank you
oh ps: the pokemon games seem to not be able to save:S
the games are incredibly fun now with multitouch, but this stops me, help please!!
maybe ur rom is corrupt? u should download another of the game..
oh, and in the pokemon games.. try using the integrated savefunction of morphgear.. its faster and better ^.^ almost never save my games without it..
yeah, +1 for what the previous guy said, pokemon saves for me if i use morphgear but not the start menu option. I'd forgotten how addictive that crap is!
Sounds like a duff rom, had the same problem with revenge of shinobi for the mega drive (genesis, for those across the water) downloaded a different rom and all is well.
Now my days at work just fly by, makes mincemeat of my battery though!
Thanks for the reply!! Helps alot! with the pokemon games.
But ive downloaded a different rom from a different site, even different sizes MB wise and exactly the same problem?
any more ideas?
Again its specifically a problem with Zelda: Minish Cap, when entering Minish woods at the beginning after princess zelda turns to stone.
love morphgear on my Hd 2 with multitouch but this specific game gives me a problem, its frustrating considering as another member said before its very ¨addicting¨ XD
UPDATE: Fixed the problem, after Princess Zelda turns to stone, don't go directly to Minish Woods, go south like if you were going back home, the road will be blocked and talk to one of the workers, then go to Minish Woods, this way its doesn't freeze, STRANGE!! but works so I'm happy
Hope this helps!!
wow! i want to play too! but i am stuck trying to install. anyone can help. please.

Hello, its not to hard here are the steps to install it correctly, again this way positively works for htc hd 2 and htc hd 1.
Step 1: go to the morphgear webpage at http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Home.aspx. go to the download tab and find the Windows Mobile - Download Version 2.3.0.2 (MorphGear ,Modular game and emulation engine.)
it should come in a .cab just pass it over to your phone, and install it either into the sd card or phone memory.
Ps, if you have an HTC HD 2 they have ported it with bigger buttons and instructions on how to add the multitouch gamepad here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593464 trust me its not that difficult, its really not (Oh and by the way the morphgear engine(program .cab) cames with the snes module already activated)
Step 2: on the morphgear website download any of the modules you'd like GBA, SNES, etc and install that into your phone.
Step 3: Open the program (it should be under games, or programs list) click the image on the right of a joystick you can choose your settings, sound no sound etc.
Step 4: now that you have everything set up find yourself a rom, google search example: GBA ROMS (or any other system) and download it should be a zip file.
Step 5: after you have downloaded place it into your phone, then open morphgear and click the folfer image on the left, find your .zip game and PLAY.
PS: imorphgear is a payed aplication, you can have the snes module free and activated in the link above, but for the other you have to find a code, (private message me if you want a GBA Code).
Also on the link above for the HTC HD 2 scren settings dont change, unless you do it with the registry, not ard either just have to do it, I changed it too full screen works great with game pad.
NOw you have all the games to your hearts desire and on The HTC LEO they are fastttttt.
Good luck!
Great Alex! Will definitely try this now! Thanks for the guide. will keep you updated.
UPDATE!!!:
Many users have been asking how to change the settings on their HTC Leo in Morphgear.
Here are the steps:
1) You need to have a registry editor, I use PHM Registry Editor, which can be found here http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=31. ( you can use others but thats the one thats simplest for me.
2)After instalation, you can go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Then you pick your console and edit whatever you want.
3) For me the best setting for my leo where: Go to the steps above and click any of the consoles, y use mostly GBA so: HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Gameboyadvanced, then you scrool down and to screen size and change the value from 100% to WINDOW SIZE. Thats the best for HTC LEO in my opinion.
4) If you want to use the d-pad WVGA-MT-Dredd67 v0.3 (Exelent by the way since it has multitouch and its very finger friendly) Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489147 follow the instructions put the files in the right folder.
5) after your done go to the registry editor and again go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Gameboyadvanced(or any console) and go to PADSKIN change the default and Write exactly the name of the pad skin you downloaded in this case WVGA MT Pad v0.3 by Dredd67.
then press ok to change.
Now restart your phone if youd like or just make sure your out of morphgear and then start it up again, the settings should be there.
PS: Once you start the game the D-Pad will show up when you tap the screen.
Good Luck hope this helps.
+ 1 for the great patience and support. Thanks mate.
I'm having the same problem with the pokemon saving in the emulator. I used the state save that Morphgear provides, which works fine, but then I beat Elite Four and the game just exited out. So my only options are either start a new game or keep on playing from where I last saved before Elite Four. It doesn't put me back at my house in the game like it's supposed to. Help anyone? There has GOT to be a way to save in-game!!!
